October 27, 2025

“KOTARO NASU & FUMA 15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 26/10/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
??? Fans

1. KUBITO defeated Sentaro Motoshima with the Crossface Lock (16:04).
2. Hayato Mashita & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shingo & Shingo Aihara when Maeguchi pinned Aihara with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (14:59).
3. NAOMI Presents: TAMURA☆GENE☆ (E2, P0, K2) defeated Cherry (E2, P0, K0) with a 15-Count Win (8:13).
4. Double Main Event I – FUMA 15th Anniversary Celebration Match: Super Tiger defeated FUMA with the Gayama (14:23).
5. Double Main Event II – MOGMARINE Presents Kotaro Nasu 15th Anniversary Celebration Match: Daichi Hashimoto defeated Kotaro Nasu with the Rising DDT (21:06).

Both Kotaro Nasu and FUMA are celebrating 15 years in pro wrestling this year so the two of them decided to work together for an anniversary show celebrating their respective careers. They tried their best to gather “classmates” from their generation alongside the seniors who looked after them to fill up the card. It led to a double main event where FUMA lost to Super Tiger while Nasu was pinned by Daichi Hashimoto.

The TAMURA☆GENE☆ versus Cherry match was held under HEAT-UP Senior rules given the age of the wrestlers involved. The first wrestler to score a 15-Count Pinfall wins the match but they could also lose the match by either using a rope break three times. Punching and kicking was also prohibited under punishment of getting a butt slap every time. If a wrestler broke that rule three times they would be disqualified.

“NAO KAKUTA PRODUCE – CROSS” Results

July 6, 2024

“NAO KAKUTA PRODUCE – CROSS”, 06/07/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
284 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Himeka defeated Cherry and Kakeru Sekiguchi with a Double Pinfall (7:04).
Special Referee: Himeka
2. Battle Royal Full Of Nao Kakuta: Arisu Endo defeated Pom Harajuku by Ring Out (9:16).
Order Of Elimination: Mizuki, Suzume, Yuki Arai, Pom Harajuku.
3. Maika Ozaki defeated HIMAWARI with the Kinniku Buster (8:54).
4. Special Tag Match: Saori Anou & Natsupoi defeated Nao Kakuta & Tae Honma when Natsupoi pinned Kakuta with the Fairy Gift (18:46).

A special day was put together by Nao Kakuta with friends from her past getting together all in one place. It became a rare moment in time where wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro and Stardom come together to pay tribute to the earliest era of Actwres girl’Z. The main event was Kakuta teaming up with Tae Honma to take on the Cosmic Angels team of Saori Anou & Natsupoi (the return of the former Natsumi Maki to a TJPW ring is especially noteworthy here). All four women along with the special guest ring announcer Aina Aiba (aka Yuuki Harima) were part of the debut Actwres show. Cosmic Angels won the match thanks to Anou getting rid of Honma with a German Suplex so Natsupoi could pin Kakuta with the Fairy Gift.

After the match Kakuta said she does not want to cry now because she still has four matches left until her retirement. She could not have put together today’s show by herself so she thanked everyone who helped her. She will continue to support the others who were in the main event with her because they are all important friends. Natsupoi said that some day every one of them will retire so she wants Kakuta to be there for them. Anou said she is sure they will all stick together even when they’re not in the ring. Honma made Kakuta promise not to get hurt so she can make it to her retirement ceremony. Everyone then slapped Kakuta over her back as hard as they could.

TJPW made up most of the show’s undercard but Kakuta made the matches they were going to be in. Kakuta put HIMAWARI to the test by making her take on Maika Ozaki. Just how much of a new experience it was for HIMAWARI was shown in the finish. Ozaki used the Kinniku Buster to beat her!

Kakuta brought along a bunch of her old costumes and got some of the TJPW wrestlers to wear them for a Battle Royal. Even though they were all meant to be Nao Kakuta, Daisy Monkey still used double team moves together on Yuki Arai because they have a Princess Tag Team Titles defence coming up against her soon. Everyone then ganged up on Pom Harajuku because she did Shin Kicks and Kakuta never uses that move. Arisu Endo and Harajuku both kicked Mizuki and Suzume out of the ring at the same time. Endo was then able to eliminate Arai and then Harajuku to be the last Nao Kakuta standing.

The opening match between Cherry and Kakeru Sekiguchi had retired wrestler Himeka as the special guest referee. It was an unusual role for her and even she was confused when she got more chants than Cherry or Sekiguchi. She couldn’t help but get involved in a test of strength and also disliked slapping the canvas when counting pins. Soon both Cherry and Sekiguchi would accidentally hit Himeka with their attacks, causing her to give them a Double Lariat in return. Then when Cherry and Sekiguchi tried to roll each other up with Backslide Pins, Himeka decided to pile on top of both of them and count the pinfall, ruling herself the winner of the match!

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT” Results

June 26, 2024

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT”, 26/06/2024
Shinjuku FACE
346 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: Toru Yano defeated Super Sasadango Machine with a School Boy (66:52).

48 years ago today Antonio Inoki and Muhammad Ali had their famous fight at the Nippon Budokan. That has nothing to do with today’s one match show between Sanshiro Takagi and Super Sasadango Machine. Instead the novelty of this match was the 51 kinds of tickets that were sold for the show, many of which allowed the ticket holders to have an interactive role of some sort. The majority of them sold out too! The only tickets that did not have any takers was the one priced 999,999 yen with a luxery gift watch included and also a ticket that allowed a fan to present a home made prize to the winner.

Many of the tickets gave fans different roles on the show, from getting to read out the pre-match announcements, hitting the ring bell, taking command of the ring lights, being the ringside seconds for either wrestler, acting as the ringside photographer and more. There were also four “Surprise Experience” tickets sold that allowed people to intefere in the match. It was announced beforehand that the ticket buyers were pro wrestlers Cherry, Erina Yamanaka, Hen China and Maku Donaruto.

When the match began Takagi and Sasadango kept it simple for the opening minutes. Then all of a sudden Toru Yano arrived in the venue to present Takagi with sake and a bouquet of flowers. Sasadango had spent the week trying to get Yano to attend the show but couldn’t get him to commit. However he decline to stick around to watch the match and left.

Takagi Hit Sasadango with the bouquet and then spat the sake in Sasadango’s face as they fought outside the ring. One of the tickets allowed Takagi and Sasadango to fight next to a fan and pose for pictures with them. Once they found the fan they gave him a close look at their fighting and held something like a group photo for him.

After that the four surprise wrestlers did their interference spots one by one Royal Rumble entry style. Cherry was first and said she came to express her gratitude to Takagi. She did that by putting him in an Achilles Tendon Hold. Erina Yamanaka ran in and hit Takagi with a Thrusting Knee strike in the corner. Hen China brought out a long rubber strap, got fans to stretch it back and then let it go so it snapped into Takagi’s face. Maku Donaruto turned things blue by doing lewd things to whoever he could get his hands on.

Takagi fled the ring and went over to the seat where fans a prohibited from laughing. There he found Stardom wrestler Momo Kohgo in the seat and he couldn’t help but laugh. He had to be punished for breaking the rule so Kohgo spanked him with a bat. Kohgo started laughing as well so Takagi grabbed the bat and spanked her back. More people started to laugh including those sitting in the celebrity seats so soon everybody was getting spanked!

Back in the ring the four surprise wrestlers started to gang up on Sasadango. He called a time out so the person who bought a ticket to be his substitute could come in and get stamped instead. The wrestlers didn’t even notice the substitution even happened until Hisaya Imabayashi pointed out the person’s impressive chest hair.

More ticket guarantees were claimed including those celebrating birthdays. One ticket in particular that had a lot of offers was to celebrare a person’s retirement. A woman bought the ticket for her father who recently retired from a career he worked in for 42 years. He was given the full blown pro wrestling retirement ceremony and used “Spartan X” as his music.

More celebrities and random guests including a Jushin Liger lookalike got to be involved in the match. It took around 45 minutes for all of the ticket guarantees to be used up. By that point Takagi and Sasadango agreed to fight each other fair and square until the finish.

However after a Double Lariat knocked both wrestlers down, Sasadango grabbed the microphone. He said once the match ends they will never have to fight each other anymore and that makes him sad. He doesn’t want to settle their rivalry after all! Takagi agreed and Sasadango brought up his latest PowerPoint presentation.

There is one person that Sasadango wants to fight because of the #OhkaEmpire show that took place nine years ago. That show happened during the height of DDT’s working relationship with New Japan and the main event was HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka beating Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu (now known as YOH) in the main event. It turns out that a certain Toru Yano was incredibly angry about the result at the time. When Sasadango found out about it he knew that someday he would have to fight him to continue the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. That day is today!

Takagi gave Sasadango his blessing to change the match into Sasadango Vs Yano. Out came Yano in his full ring gear and he quickly started removing the ring corner pads. He lured Sasadango out of the ring and taped his legs together. The ringside seconds wearing Sasadango masks helped the real one return to the ring in time to avoid the count out.

Sasadango then dared Yano to tape his own feet together so they could fight each other on even terms. He agreed to do it just because he was defending the honour of New Japan. Yano then realised he couldn’t give Sasadango a Low Blow so he grabbed a pair of scissors. Sasadango took the scissors from him and tried to cut his hair off. When the ref stopped him Sasadango then pulled off his own mask and placed it over Yano’s face like a blindfold.

Yano was given two Lehmann Shocks but he kicked out of the pin. He then pleaded just like Sasadango did to have the tape cut off so they could fight on even terms again. Sasadango did so, the two shook hands and then Yano gave him a Low Blow. Yano then took off his own shirt, pulled it over Sasadango’s face and rolled him up with a School Boy to win the match.

Sasadango thanked Yano for coming to the show today despite his busy schedule. He removed his King Of Sasadango title belt from his waist and presented it to Yano for beating him. Yano said it is an honor to receive this belt but also too heavy of a burden for him to handle so he gave it back to Sasadango and left the ring.

At the end of the show Takagi promised he will fight Sasadango again after he comes back from his break from pro wrestling. Sasadango was disappointed he lost the latest DDT Vs New Japan match but is certain Konosuke Takeshita will get revenge when he enters the G1 Climax this summer. Backstage Takagi praised Sasadango/Muscle Sakai for being a genius promoter because today’s show barely had any personnel costs nor staff fees!

Nao Kakuta Producing “CROSS” Event

May 20, 2024

“NAO KAKUTA PRODUCE – CROSS”, 06/07/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Cherry Vs Kakeru Sekiguchi (Special Referee: Himeka)
2. Battle Royal Full Of Nao Kakuta: Mizuki Vs Suzume Vs Arisu Endo Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Arai
3. Maika Ozaki Vs HIMAWARI
4. Special Tag Match: Nao Kakuta & Tae Honma Vs Saori Anou & Natsupoi

On the same month when Nao Kakuta will be graduating from pro wrestling, she will be producing her own event at Shin-Kiba 1st RING with a little help from friends she wants to see in the ring one last time. The show is called “CROSS” because it will be the only place where so many people Kakuta knows from different companies can cross over and be together. It is not officially a Tokyo Joshi Pro show but they will be providing Kakuta with everything she needs to run it. It is being held in Shin-Kiba 1st RING because so many fond memories of her career took place there. It is where her debut match was, where her graduation from Actwres girl’Z took place, where she first wrestled for TJPW and where her TJPW graduation will be held.

The main event has Kakuta teaming with Tae Honma to take on Saori Anou & Natsupoi. All four women debuted on the very first AWG show together back in 2015. They are classmates who are important to Kakuta but all went their seperate ways over the last nine years. She thanked Stardom and the company president Taro Okada for allowing her to make this match happen. The other three are all sad to see Kakuta retiring soon but are looking forward to being in the same ring together after being apart for so long.

Kakuta wanted Maika Ozaki to be on the show because she also had her debut match on the first AWG show. She thinks Ozaki works very hard and her in a singles match is worth watching. HIMAWARI was chosen to be her opponent and Kakuta hopes she will do her best against her.

During Kakuta’s time in TJPW she has worn five different wrestling costumes. She came up with the idea to bring in five TJPW wrestlers and have them compete in a Battle Royal while wearing those costumes. Whenever TJPW held matches with the gimmick of everybody swapping each other’s gear, Kakuta is never around to watch it. So she is just as interested in seeing what happens in the Battle Royal as the fans will be.

There was a singles match Kakuta had against Cherry in AWG that made her discover how much fun wrestling can be and that she can hold her own in it. She is also friends with Kakeru Sekiguchi in her private life so she decided to put them together for a match. As a bonus, Kakuta invited retired wrestler Himeka to take part in the match as the special guest referee.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23” Results

July 16, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans

1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Sumire Natsu defeated Riara with the Shining Wizard (10:32).
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Cherry & Alex Lee defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa when Cherry submitted Oikawa with the Sakuran Bokari (10:20).
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: SAKI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Power “Zu” Ram (11:27).
4. Makoto & Asuka defeated Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi when Makoto pinned Manase with the Death Valley Bomb (16:59).
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeated Misa Kagura with the Swanton Bomb (11:15).

As Ganbare☆Joshi begins to grow, so too does YuuRI’s success at winning matches. She scored a significant victory today by beating her old JTO classmate Misa Kagura in the main event of the latest GanJo show. With this momentum, YuuRI will be heading over to Ice Ribbon tomorrow to challenge Totoro Satsuki for the ICEx∞ Title. She told the fans she is going to win the title in the afternoon and then show up at the evening’s Ganbare☆Pro show as a champion! Backstage Kagura said she is aiming to win the ICEx∞ Title this year too. She will win it from YuuRI!

A Super Kick & Death Valley Bomb combo from Asuka & Makoto put Ami Manase down for the count. This may also be the last time we see Marika Kobashi in GanJo for a while because she is visiting England in August to spend the rest of her summer studying.

Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI was a match between two former wrestlers who made their starts in Actwres girl’Z. SAKI won the match but Hasegawa refused to shake her hand afterwards. She explained backstage that shaking hands like that would end her story with SAKI. She wants to get stronger and face SAKI again to keep that story going. When SAKI heard that was the reason, she asked if she can bring in wrestlers from her Color’s unit to turn this situation into a promotional rivalry against GanJo.

One of of Ice Ribbon’s former wrestlers returned to the ring at this GanJo show. Banny Oikawa had her comeback match teaming with Miyako Matsumoto, the woman responsible for convincing her to enter GanJo. Sadly Oikawa’s big return was spoiled by Cherry & Alex Lee. Cherry used her Sakuran Bokari submission hold to make Oikawa give up and lose the match. Still, Oikawa is committed to the return and announced she will be back in GanJo for their 11th August show. She wants to work her way up to GanPro so she can wrestle in mixed gender matches.

In a battle of the night life hostesses Sumire Natsu defeated Riara. The match consisted of Natsu pouring a bottle of champagne over her opponent and also attacking her with a whip until the referee stopped her. Natsu knocked the ref down but that led to Riara grabbing the whip and using it to fight back. However Natsu regained control of the match and pinned Riara with the Shining Wizard. Then after the match Riara unexpectedly asked Natsu if she wanted to form a tag team together! Natsu didn’t give her a straight answer. Instead she said pro wrestling and the entertainment business both value connections so they will meet again some day.

Yuna Manase appeared at the beginning of the show, thanking the fans for making up the biggest attendance yet for a GanJo show.

He also had to vacate the KO-D Tag Team Titles as well remember but it seems he is only the “special observer” for the main event.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh

Earlier this week Vert Vixen sent a video to Tokyo Joshi Pro telling them she wants to put the DEFY Women’s Title on the line in her match against Hikari Noa. The match means a lot to Vixen because when she was a child her father travelled to Japan on business trips and he would come back with gifts and stories for her. She got to tour Japan with TJPW in April where she teamed with Noa twice and together they won both matches. Vixen is so confident she will beat Noa she wants their match to be a title match so she can make her father proud. She previously had a successful title defence against Miyu Yamashita during Yamashita’s US excursion. Noa was touched by Vixen’s idea and accepted the challenge. She wants to win a singles championship and go wrestle overseas again. She warns Vixen that she fought in a death match and became even stronger since the last time they were in the ring together.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi Vs Makoto & Asuka
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa Vs Cherry & Alex Lee
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Riara Vs Sumire Natsu
4. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI Vs Misa Kagura

Three important singles matches highlight the next Ganbare☆Joshi card. YuuRI’s grudge match with Misa Kagura was already announced. Yoshiko Hasegawa meets SAKI in the ring again for the first time in three years. A battle between hostesses will take place when Riara takes on Sumire Natsu.

Banny Oikawa’s return to wrestling has her teaming with Miyako Matsumoto. Her entry into GanJo is because of Matsumoto so that makes sense. Alex Lee being on the opposite side is unexpected because she’s been with Matsumoto in her previous appearances here. Cherry is part of the match because she was one of Oikawa’s trainers.

I’ve noticed that all of Ami Manase’s matches so far included Marika Kobashi. They’ve been both opponents and teammates. Their next task together is facing Makoto & Asuka. That pair often teams together as Las Fresa de Egoistas.

After a year of recovery he became a stage actor and performed for MAKAI, eventually becoming affiliated with the project. He returned to pro wrestling in November of last year and spends time juggling between both roles.

DDT “STERNNESS 30TH ANNIVERSARY ~JUN AKIYAMA 30TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 18/09/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada
3. Jun Akiyama Debut 30th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo & Yoshinobu Kanemaru Vs Yuji Nagata, Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata

30 years ago Jun Akiyama made his debut match against Kenta Kobashi in the semi-main event of an All Japan show in Korakuen Hall. That he is giving Takeshi Masada the same opportunity shows how much he has high hopes for the rookie.

Akiyama also thinks the opening match is important because it gets the audience excited for the rest of the show. That is why he is sticking Yusuke Okada in that spot with Yuya Koroku.

Cara Noir being on this show makes me wonder who Akiyama would book him against?

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 9 ~NO CLOUDS OVER THE MOON~”, 10/10/2022

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ishida 1st Anniversary Match: Yuki Ishida Vs X
2. Makoto Oishi 20th Anniversary Match: Makoto Oishi Vs X

Ishida will be celebrating the one year anniversary of his debut match on the same show as Makoto Oishi celebrating his 20th anniversary in wrestling. Oishi has made requests for his match and is looking forward to announcing it next week. Ishida is confused why his one year anniversary is being treated as just as much a big deal but he hopes people come to see it.

Let’s start off with some good news. When we last heard about Gorgeous Matsuno, he was taking a leave of absence from pro wrestling to become a kidney donor for his partner Junko Tashiro. The treatment is scheduled for the end of August which gave Matsuno a chance to compete in one last Best Body Japan bodybuilding contest. This week he entered the Legend Class (60+ year old) of the Model Japan 2022 Sendai Tournament and won it!

5. Tetsuya Endo Return Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Soma Takao
6. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yusuke Okada
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Asuka (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura

The KO-D Tag Team Champions are ready to defend the belts against all challengers. MAO wants this title reign to start an era where weight class and gender division do not matter. Asuka has been absent from the warm up matches but wants to win the match with her usual groove and vigor. Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura are planning to announce the name of their new tag team on the show. They continue to talk about a “new wind” blowing through DDT which may be a hint.

Yusuke Okada promises that if he wins the DDT Universal Title, he will defend it against Yuki Ueno in a rematch from last January to show how much he has changed since then. Masahiro Takanashi wants this title reign to be different from the previous champions. At first his plan was to defend it against the new generation of DDT wrestlers but now that international travel is possible, he now also wants to defend the belt overseas like it was originally meant to be.

Whenever Tetsuya Endo is about to have an important match he goes to visit Kenta Kobashi for advice. He did the same yesterday looking for words of wisdom so he can get back on his feet. Endo told Kobashi he has completely recovered from his concussion and is back to training with the same intensity as he did before. Kobashi’s opinion is he thinks Endo lacks anger and brings up the story of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. As the legend goes, when Ieyasu was defeated in battle and escaped with his life he immediately got a portrait painted of himself looking defeated to fuel his anger. Kobashi asked Endo to re-watch the match where Katsuhiko Nakajima knocked him out so he can draw out his anger. Kobashi also told him when the time comes it will be necessary for Endo to get his revenge.

Yuki Ueno is off the show with covid. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match was cancelled during the week along with that news. A non-title match with Shinya Aoki substituting Ueno was the replacement match. But now Kojima is sick too so he is getting replaced by El Unicorn.

One year after his back injury, Makoto Oishi is now about to return to the ring. He had a metal fitting removed in June and wanted to go through his rehab as quick as possible so he could wrestle again. He is looking forward to his match but is worried newer fans who hadn’t seen him wrestle before will think he is copying Shunma Katsumata & MAO with his moveset. Oishi also wants to do his best so his two year old daughter Akari will say he looks cool.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2022 IN MIYAGI”, 07/08/2022
Miyagi Tagajo City Cultural Center Small Hall

1. Miyagi Specialty Special Single Match: MAO Vs Makoto Oishi

It’s an NωA reunion for MAO and Oishi. This match was requested by Oishi to take place in Miyagi because it is where he suffered his back injury one year ago. MAO showed some disrespect to Oishi by putting on a Miyagi accent and telling him he never considred Oishi to be his senpai. MAO gave him a challenge. If Oishi can sell 50 more tickets than MAO and also beat him in the match then MAO will show respect and be called his disciple again.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Asuka Vs Saki Akai
2. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Lighttube IPPON Death Match: Akito (c) Vs Joey Janela

A classic stipulation makes its return. Akito will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Joey Janela in a single lighttube death match! There will only be one lighttube in the ring. If you smash it over your opponent or if they break it by mistake then you win the match! Akito treats the match stipulation like it is his family heirloom. He considers Janela to be a creative wrestler which is why he chose his “masterpiece” to be the match type. However he noticed Janela never said Akito’s name when he tweeted about his desire to become the Extreme Champion. Akito is trying to look on the bright side. If world class wrestlers are coming to DDT, this is his chance to make a name for himself around the world! Akito also keeps notes on his phone whenever he comes up with a new idea for a match. He currently has 18 different ideas for future title defences.

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs Eruption!: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Ueno pinned Okatani with the BME (10:34).
7. Tetsuya Endo 10th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Endo pinned Honda with the Burning Star Press (20:16).

Here’s to ten years of Tetsuya Endo and here’s to ten years more. Some of the most important faces from his past and present gathered together for a DDT all star trios main event. Endo had Jun Akiyama and Yukio Sakaguchi on his team to take on Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda. It ended up with Endo and Honda exchanging Bionic Elbows until Endo cut him off with an Overhead Kick. Endo couldn’t put Honda away with the Torture Rack Bomb so he busted out the Burning Star Press for the victory.

Endo spoke about having his debut match a few months before Sakaguchi joined the company. He thanked HARASHIMA for supporting him since day one and said Honda was like a father raising him in Happy Motels. Takeshita was leaving ringside when Endo suddenly called out to him. He understands Takeshita going overseas is a big deal and told him not to worry because DDT will remain interesting as long as Endo is the KO-D Openweight Champion. He will prove it when he defends the title against Takeshita’s friend Yuki Ueno on 1st May. Endo also wants everyone to know that he will be the winner of course. Ueno got on the microphone and said he will beat Endo. He is confident he will have more wonderful days as KO-D Champion than Endo, Takeshita and even HARASHIMA! Takeshita told both of them that DDT in Japan is in good hands with either of them as the champion. Endo had one last thing to tell Takeshita. He still hates him. Ueno still loves him though.

Before everyone left the ring to end the show, Yusuke Okada asked Akiyama for his attention. He said he hasn’t been part of DDT long enough to know their history but he wants to do more to support the version of BURNING Endo has built. To do that Okada wants to himself and Akiyama to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The two of them were granted permission from Hisaya Imabayashi to make the challenge. CDK emerged at the entrance and both agreed to do the title match on 1st May. Endo encouraged his stablemates to win the belts so all eyes at the Yokohama Budokan will be on BURNING!

Ueno is building up momentum for his title shot. Today he teamed with MAO to beat Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani. MAO cheapshotted Higuchi with a Rock Punch and later got his just desserts when Higuchi grabbed him in the Brain Claw. But the match came down to a back and forth between Ueno and Okatani. The 37KAMIINA hit Shining Wizards and Enzuigiris to the Eruption members to get the upper hand. Ueno then came out on top with the BME onto Okatani.

The 37KAMIINA heat waves from Shunma Katsumata was a challenge for Yusuke Okada to overcome when the two of them faced off. Katsumata targeted his neck which slowed Okada down, even when he was on the attack with a Diving Headbutt. However Okada’s use of a Lariat and the Tricolor DDT did big damage and he was able to win with the Sudden Death. Okada repeated after the show that Endo can’t do all the work in BURNING. Akiyama agrees and also mentioned that he hates how CDK always gets the referee physically involved in their matches. He just as much wants to beat them up for that reason than to win the tag titles.

It’s been a busy weekend of tag team adventuring for Saki Akai. Yesterday she teamed with Yuki Arai in Tokyo Joshi Pro and today she teamed with Maya Yukihi in DDT. They were victorious over the team of Cherry & Miyako Matsumoto. Akai said she learned a lot about Yukihi by fighting her all the way over to Sumo Hall. She hopes to continue working with her so they can both improve each other. Yukihi was happy to wrestle with Cherry again but thought she was finally done with Matsumoto. She came in as a replacement for Bambi so Yukihi had to deal with her one more time.

Pheromones are no longer the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions which means DDT won’t have to worry about their title matches being banned from Youtube! With that said, this match still tried to cross the line as much as it could. Yuki Iino stripped down to his O-Back even as Daisuke Sasaki kept hitting him in the ass with a chair. Hisaya Imabayashi ran in ordering Pheromones to stop their usual antics and he gave Danshoku Dieno a Stunner. DAMNATION T.A then went on the attack with Sasaki and Iino brawling their way up towards the balcony while the GM chased after them. Meanwhile Dieno, Yumehito Imanari, Minoru Fujita and MJ Paul were still wrestling in the ring while this was going down. Up in the balcony, Sasaki fully stripped Iino naked and threw his O-Back over the balcony! Imabayashi jumped onto Iino to stop him from fully exposing himself to the audience. Back in the ring, Fujita caught Dieno in the Samson Clutch to score the win out of nowhere. After the match Sasaki said that a new member will join DAMNATION T.A on 1st May. He warned the roster that the person standing next to them may be a traitor so everyone should be looking forward to the reveal. However if a reporter wants to go drinking with Sasaki and pay his tab, he will give them a hint in return.

CDK couldn’t beat Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya in a fight because of the size difference, so they had to outsmart them to keep the KO-D Tag Titles. Naya put Masahiro Takanashi in the Cobra Twist when outside the ring, Chris Brookes rang the bell and tricked Naya into thinking he won. While Naya and the referee were distracted, Takanashi grabbed one of the Asia Dream Tag Team Title belts and nailed Naya in the head with it. Hino broke the pin to keep the match going but CDK then used a combined Crucifix and Jackknife Pin on Naya to get the three count and steal a title defence. Takanashi praised Brookes for his strange plan working out but knows they won’t be able to get away with it again. They’re relieved they won’t have to defend the titles against Hino & Naya again but the challengers think otherwise.

The DDT debut of KANON saw him defeat Yuki Ishida. KANON hit Soccer Ball Kicks, Backbreakers and K Spike chops. Ishida fought back with a Brainbuster and his Sumo Chop Rush. KANON recovered from that and put Ishida in the Cobra Twist to make him submit. He praised Ishida for having a strong core because of his sumo background. KANON also said he is looking forward to doing more with DDT in the future.

One of the dark matches went out of control thanks to the addition of Lucha tag rules. Kazuki Hirata ended up knocking out both Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura so he put himself in a 3-on-1 disadvantage. His solution was to give Hirata GO! glasses to all of his opponents. Akito, Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi danced with him and then attacked. However Ihashi missed a Moonsault and Hirata rolled him up with La Magistral to escape with the win.

Two young rivalries met in the very first match of the day. El Unicorn and Ilusion continue their back and forth feud. Toui Kojima hit a setback in his rivalry against Yuya Koroku. Kojima had finally beaten him by using a Triangle Choke so he went for it again today. This time though Koroku defended himself and rolled over on top of Kojima to pin him for the three count.

The result caused Kojima to come out during the show opening announcements where Shinya Aoki was already in the ring. Kojima asked him for a singles match on 1st May so Kojima can get stronger and catch up to the rest of The 37KAMIINA. Aoki accepted and wondered if Kojima wasn’t taking things seriously until now.

The full card for the Yokohama Budokan show on 1st May was revealed at the end of the show. One of the new matches is a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles defence. Also HARASHIMA will team with Hikaru Sato to take on Higuchi & Sakaguchi from Eruption.
